For those unfamiliar with government – say, who never watched “Schoolhouse Rock” as children – the Governor is in charge of the executive branch of state government. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which means it’s his job to enforce the laws of the state, <\/em>along with the rest of the executive branch. It’s literally one of duties, defined in the state’s Constitution.\u00a0\u00a0 He’s supposed to be aided by the Attorney General, who is the state’s lawyer, and the State Auditor, ostensibly the state’s bookkeeper.\u00a0 Walz, Keith Ellison and Julie Blaha already have not only the power, but the duty <\/em>to be dealing with the fraud that happened on their watch<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And fraud is already illegal<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0 There is literally a law for that, as evidence by the fact that the Department of Justice is currently prosecuting Minnesota fraud cases.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

The only need for a “legislative package” is to try to deflect some responsibility for the feeding frenzy of this past four years to the newly (and temporarily) GOP-controlled House of Representatives, and evade his and the MNDFL’s culpablity for the four years the Governor spent taking selfies eating Pronto Pups and standing by liked a hog that’d been smacked on the head with a hammer as his voters <\/em>looted and pillaged a billion dollars or more from the state treasury.<\/p>\n

The media will try to help him with this evasion.<\/p>\n

And if the “conservative media” in this state ever had a mission in life, making sure they can’t <\/em>enable that evasion is it.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
